£96 And Counting

Routine equals success, the nightly preparation of snacks and sustinance for the following day. The inbuilt habit to pick up your lunchbox on the way out to work. We have nearly completed our first month back at school since summer holidays and we haven't failed once to take our own packing up. Max has had one unfortunate day where all he consumed was two rounds of peanut butter sarnies but on the whole lunch is good. Martha and I are even baking home made treats to battle the sugar hit you need to see you through the afternoon. The best thing though is the feeling of saving money. Max isn't piling round after round of 30p's into the staff room coffee machine and I'm avoiding the daily 50p spent on afternoon cake. This month we think we've added nearly £100 into the kitty from packing up not buying out. I need to deduct from that a tenner for buying two new thermos flasks after obliterating the old ones caps in the microwave in an attempt to steralise them but that's still not bad. Now I just need anithervVicky Blick visit to cook us up a couple more batches of sausage pie for next month and we are truly sorted.
